Lifeworks awarded three-year CARF accreditation

For three days in 2010, a team of four surveyors from around the country visited Lifeworks employment sites and program locations, reviewed services and policies, and talked to staff, clients, and employers as part of the application process for our Career Development and Social Enrichment programs to become CARF accredited.

CARF stands for Committee on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. Accreditation allows Lifeworks to provide a broader range of employment services to Rehabilitative Services clients. This process also ensures Lifeworks programs and services are of the highest quality. Our surveyors found many areas in which we excel, sighting over 30 areas of strength. These strength include an active well-qualified board of directors, a diversity of expertise in delivering services that enhance quality of life, a sound strategy for growth, high family satisfaction and loyalty, cutting edge assistive technology resources, and a strong partnership with community businesses.

We received a three-year accreditation, the highest awarded.

Lifeworks will again be going through CARF Accreditation in 2013.
